"The truth is that progress is usually small and sneaky. The lie is that only big will do; only big will change the world, so everyone will be kind to each other and the killing will stop. Big is the magic we look for first, but grace is what makes things work out against all odds. If it were too big, it might sweep away all the bits of knowledge and insight we're granted as we go along. If it were too big, it couldn't get through the almost invisible cracks and holes in our walls, in our stone hearts; knowledge comes in tendrils." --Anne Lamott

I have decided to donate all of the empty journals and blank pages that I have spilling out of boxes and drawers to Anne Lamott. She will make better use of them than I ever would. It seems a waste to fill them with anything I have, when she could fill them with everything she has.
